The applicant, Tom Lucido, is requesting a Major Urban Code Conditional Use approval as per Section 3.01.06 of the City of Stuart Land Development Code. If granted, the conditional use would allow for the development of a 2,204 (under air) square foot single family residence on a .081 acre site in the City’s Urban General zoning district.
The applicant has requested the following variances from code:
1. The rear setback to be less than fifteen (15) feet,
2. An overhang to project more than three (3) feet into the required five (5) foot side setback, and
3. For parking to be located at the front of the building for property located in the Urban General zoning district within the City's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) See Plans and Elevations attached as exhibits to Resolution No. 127-2020.
The property is located between SE Ocean Blvd. and SE Osceola street and is only 70 feet wide. There is a 5 foot FP&L easement in the rear and a 5 foot easement on Georgia Avenue which Mr. Lucido granted to the City many years ago. The two easements reduce the usable depth of the property to 60 feet. The proposed lot width is 47 feet. When designing the home and considering the remaining portion of the lot, the architect realized the need for both rear and side setback consideration for relief. It is Mr. Lucido's hope to develop additional residences in the future for the remaining property, providing adequate square footage for each home. The request is for relief to the urban code for the three (3) variances listed above. Today's request is for this first residence if approved, Tom plans to build in 2021.
